M-16A2/M4 Carbine

• The M-16A2 is the standard issue rifle in the
  U.S. Military. It fires 5.56 ammunition (or .223)
  in semi-auto or 3 round burst.
• The M4 Carbine fires the same round in the same
  rate of fire as the A2 only the carbine is more
  compact and is used more widely by Special
  Forces.

M-60/M-249 SAW Machine Guns

• The M-60 Machine Gun has been in service since
  Vietnam. It fires belt fed, full automatic
  7.62/54 ammo.
• The M-249 Squad Automatic Weapon(SAW) is the
  younger brother of the M-60. It is also belt fed
  full auto but fires 5.56 ammo and is smaller than
  the M-60.

MP5 Sub Machine Gun

• The Heckler and Koch MP5 Sub Machine Gun is the
  favorite among U.S. Special Forces. These light
  weight yet durable weapons fire 9mm rounds in 3
  round burst or semi auto and can be fitted with a
  suppressor for covert operations.

Colt 1911 45/Beretta 9mm Pistol

• The Colt Model 1911 45 was the standard issue
  sidearm in the military for over 70 years. Though
  it is no longer the standard issue it is still
  used by policemen and special forces.
• The Beretta 9mm is what replaced the 45. Because
  of the smaller round more ammo can be carried in
  the magazine.
